Messrs. Thus. P. Stovall & Co. have sent us
two bottles of Lo.voworth’s Wines, one of Spark

vintage of 1852, and without opening the bot

I.ingworth has proved himself a benefactor to
’■tic country iu introducing so successfully the cul
ture ol the grape, as it will loud materially to di
minish the consumption of ardent spirits, and of

From the Tjondon Times, Feb. 28.
The Dinner to Mr. Buchanan.
We had already stated, in the news by tele
graph, that Mr. Buchanan could not attend the
dinner given him at the Mansion House—but the
following extracts from the speeches there will be
interesting:
Lord Elgin rejoiced at the conjunction of the
Canada Club and the name of tbe American
Minister in the speech of the Lord Mayor, because
he had always desired that our possession of the
British Provinces on the American continent
' should he a bond of union instead of a source of
. jealousy or dissension between England and the
Government of the United States. The principles
of free trade had been recently applied to the com
merce between Canada and the States and
the result was that the amount of that com
merce, according to the statement of Mr Buchan
an, has since been quintupled. By uniting in an
amicable rivalry of that description, Eng
bind and America could do much to promote the
cause of civilization throughout the world, and he
; trusted that Mr. Buchanan would cam- back to his
, countrymen his invaluable testimony to theuniver
-1 sal de * lre of lUt ‘ People of the united kingdom to
continue upon the most friendly and peaceful
■ footing with them. (Cheers.) The noble earl
I concluded bv proposing, “ The Health of the
Lord Mayor.”
Mr. R. Cobden remarked that there was great
appropriateness in connecting the name of Man
chester with a festivity to do honor to the Arneri
i cun Minister. That city had contributed as much
as any town in the kingdom to our wealth and
power as a nation, and to our reputation iu the
eves of the world; it was almost as much an Amer
; ican city as it was an English one. Its industry
j was that of the one million five hundred thousand
of circumjacent population dependent on the regn
[ lar supply from America of that fibre, about twett
j tv-five thousand bales of which per week were re
quired to afford them employment and means of
subsistence. The United States, on the other
hand, lay under almost an equal obligation to the
j producers of this country. The news conveyed to
j New 1 ork by every steamer from England is’eager
1\ expected by thousands; and if those tidings
, speak of prosperity here, a thrill of sympathy was
awakened throughout the United States as quickly
as the electiic telegraph could speed its welcome
message. If the burden of the intelligence was
disaster or gloom to Europe, u corresponding feel
ing rapidly overhung, like a pull, every town and
village of the Union. This was not a thing to be
deplored ; it was, according to bis doctrine, rather
i be rejoiced at. The independence of different
i countries was God s own ordinance—free trade
1 w;ta th< ‘ international law of the Almighty; and
| when he heard of impious threats and foolish
» bluster being interchanged between countries so
j intimately related and mutually dependent as Eng
land and America, he said, “What God lias joined
; together, let no man, nor body of men, dare to put
j asunder. (Cheers.)
k was to be regretted that Mr. Buchanan was
not there to witness the fervor with which every
friendly syllable, uttered in regard to his country
was echoed by that great assembly. No rational
mail in England encouraged tbe exhibition of a
sjunt of menace or hostility towards America
Their sentiments towards that great country were
those of friendship and admiration. This lie said
in no spirit of servile adulation of our transatlan
tic kinsfolk. \v e could not elevate their character
and power in the scale of nations without indirect
ly claiming credit for ourselves. America owed
and must ever owe, her distinguishing characteris
tics to this country. No doubt she had her faults,
but, of all colonized countries in the world, she
was the one which had most closely' imiiated tin
failings of the parent State. During his travels
bo once asked an enthusiastic American lady, wit
her country could not rest satisfied with the im
mense unoccupied territories it already possessed,
but must ver be lusting after the lands of its
neighbors V Her somewhat remarkable reply was.
‘tth! the propensity is a very bad one, I admit;
but we came honestly by it, for we inherited it
from you. i Laugh ter. J There was, he thought, a
great deal of truth iu the answer. The greatest
difference between the two countries consisted in
this —that a great deal more care was taken of the
ladies m America than in England, and a great deal
loss care nt the men. (A laugh, j II tbe respect
Mi'O'.u to the fair sex, was a true criterion for esti
mating iho chivalry ot any country-, certainly, in
the present case the palm must be conceded’ to
America, in regard in that amiable quality. ; Hear
aud a laugh ]
!;i illustration of tbe American characteristic
he might mention that when in Boston, United
States, on the anniversary of the American decla
ration of independence, tie was anxious to gain ad
mission to a church where one of their most dis
tinguished orators yvas to deliver a political ad
dress appropriate to this occasion. The beadle
who guarded the door steadfastly refused him ar
; cess until the corporation had arrived; and on his
Mr t’. si remarking, after waiting some time that
other persons were being admitted while he was
excluded, the beadle naively replied, “Oh! but
these gentlemen have ladies with them, and vou
have none; but if vou bring a iadv with vou, I
wiiriet you in also." i Laughter.) After adducing
further examples of the same national trait, and
likewise illustrating the carelessness evinced on
American railways and elsewhere as to the safety
ot Ihe sterner sex, the honorable gentleman con
eluded by comparing tbe occasional quarrels be
tween England and the United States to the in
ternal disputes of a private family, which might,
I indeed, produce slight temporary estrangements!
j but were sure to end in increased’friendliness and
wanner endeaiments. The two branches of the
■ two great Vnglo-Saxou familes in this lespect
■ were like Dr. Johnson and Oliver Goldsmith. The
! doctor would abuse poor “Goldie" himself when
> ever he pleased, but he would not allow any one
else to do so. (Laughter.)

1 he Legislative Assembly was organized on the
huh December, at Fillmore city. On the lllii the
Governor s message was received. The 1 loveruor ail
vacates in his message the opening of new channels
of communication from the East through the trib
utaries of the Missouri, and from the South bv yyay
of the Colorado.
On the 1, iii ot December an art yvas passed bv
the Assembly, and has been approved by Governor
Brigham Young, providing for the holding of an
election on the 16th of February, to obtain an ex
pression of the popular will upon the question of
I holding a convention for the formation of a State
Constitution. The bill was passed in pursuance of
the following recommendation contained in the
message of Brigham Young:
In order, however, to avoid this (the annulling
of laws of the Legislative Assembly by Congress,
as well as many other questions whit h might uii
fortunately arise only to perplex and entangle the :
relations so unreasonably, yet so peacefully, existin'-’ !
in the present form of a dependent State, and to !
place ourselves, beyond cavil, upon the platform ot
equal rights, constitutional sovereignty and free
Government, based upon the principles sacred to
every lover of American liberty as emanating from
ihe people, I recommend that you take the initatn
ry steps towards our obtaining admission into the
Lnion. Preparatory thereto, it will be necessary
to have the census of the Territory taken, and to
! hold a convention for the formation and adoption
. of a Constitution.
I would respectfully suggest that this matter be
taken into prompt consideration, that, in case you
deem it wisdom to make an effort for our admis
sion as a State, the incipient, laws may be passed
at an early day. We trust that the present Con
gress will have wisdom to so far recognize tho
principle of self-government and the genius of our
free institutions, as to abolish in her territories
that odious, tyrannical and absurd t vsieni of colo
nial government which emanated f. an the British
throne, and place them upon that equality of con
stitutional rights enjoyed by the States iii their in
ternal regulations, election of officers and repre
sentation.
The Governor advices a peaceful policy with tbe
Indians.
The debt of the Territory is said to amount to
only $1,107 94.

Ml,u HAND, WILCOX 4 CO.
To the Editor of the Constitutionalist :
" Two lines were run, something over a mile in
1 length, with a view' of establishing a depot, either
upon the bank ot the river, or upon the higher
ground north of the village”—(Hamburg).
" from the junction of these two routes, the line
is confined to the banks of the river to Stevens'
Creek, eight miles from Hamburg. This portion
of the road will bo expensive, the greater part of
the excavations being of rock, and the embank
ments requiring a considerable amount of side
; walling and rip-rapping, as protection against the
abrasions of the river floods.”
“ Crossing at Steven's Creek near its moutn,
1 with a Bridge forty feet high and two hundred aud
. twenty-five feet long, the line commences at once
i to ascend the ridge between the Savannah river,
! and Steven's Creek, encountering heavy grading for
the next eleven miles.”
“ xVt this point, nineteen miles from Hamburg,
tbe grading assumes a much lighter character.”
j The above extracts are from the report of the
; Chief Engineer of the Savannah River Valiev rail
; road of the 20th April, 1854.
£ Since the above-mentioned report was made, it
has been ascertained that a line on the Georgia
side of the river from nearFurys’ Ferry to Augusta
can be occupied at from $38,000 to $40,000 less
than the line from the same point in Carolina,
crossing at Bull Sluice. If the line from the Ferry
is adopted, our neighbors would have to construct
about twenty-one miles of road to form a junction,
seven of these would cost about $30,000 per mile,
eleven $22,000, and three $20,000 per mile, making
the whole cost $512,000.
I do not know exactly how much our Hamburg
neighbors have subscribed and withdrawn. I
think it likely, however, before they “go ahead ”
to “ take the Cotton and give Augusta the water,''
by making this kind of connection, common sense
will suggest to them that the river can be bridged
again at Augusta for a trifle less than half a mil -
lion of dollars, and that they will then be in as
good position to secure their part of the trade as if
they had twenty-one miles of railroad and its se
parate “rolling stock” to look after.
Thesequotations and remarks have beenmade for
the special benefit of the author of a communica
tion under the head of “Savannah Valley Rail
road, in the Chronicle and Sentinel, of last Sunday
morning. Ido not know that he desired, but it
appeared to me that as a citizen of Augusta, if he
is one, he required some little information on the
subject. I trust he will not be alarmed any more
about the water, and will “lend a band” towards
taking the Cotton. Locomotive.

Awful Fire—Fourteen Houses in Ruins’
a his morning our city was visited bv one of the
most calamitous fires that has ever been witnesscu
by our citizens. Near three o’clock it was discov
ered that the Tinner’s shop of Mr. George A.
Barnes, situated on the North-west corner of the
square was on fire. The large grocery- store of
Messrs. Crocket A Ransom was entirely'consumed.
The Masonic Hall, yvliich was in the third story of
this building, yvas destroyed, with all the furniture,
jeyvels Ac., of Mount Morian Lodge No. 28, of Mur
freesboro Lodge No. 205, and Pithagoras Chapter
The grocery store of Messrs. J. A. Collier & Co.,
was also completely destroyed. The house oecu’-
pied by Mr. \\ . T. Lane was considerably injured.
Messrs. Crockett A Ransom lost a largo amount of
wheat, corn, bacon, sugar, and various other arti
cles, supposed altogether to amount to seven or
eight thousand dollars, three thousand five bun
ared of which was covered bv insurance. Tlx*
house occupied by them belonged to Messrs. J.
Huggins A Co., worth near eleven thousand dol
lars, three thousand five hundred insured. Messrs.
J. A. Collier & Co. succeeded in removing the
greater portion of their groceries. The house oc
J cupied by them belonged to Col. Win. Ledbetter
; whose loss must be two or three thousand dollars!
; in the rear of Messrs. Collier’s, Mr. J. J. Lawing’s
Cabinet shop, also belonging to Col. Ledbetter,
was considerably injured.
The fire also communicated to the buildings
owned by Messrs. J. A. Collier A Co., and com
pletely destroyed them, us also the adjoining build
iiigs ot Mr. Thus. B. Clark, in which were two
groceries and one storage house. Mr. Crosbv suc
ceeded in saving the greater portion of his stock.
Mr. Clark's was almost an entire loss ; Mr. F. Hem
rv, Esq., in order to arrest the progress of the tire,
and to keen it from reaching his dwelling, had to
pul! down his kitchen, smoke house and other of
j ins buildings.
The loss of Messrs. J. A. Collier A Co. must
have been near fifteen hundred dollars ; that of
Mr. Chirk between four and five thousand dollars
! His large livery stable being entirely destroyed
with a vast amount of corn, fodder and oats. Esq!
Henry’s loss is estimated at one thousand dollars
V' nsiderable losses were incurred bv Mr. A G.
Cosbv, \V. T. Lane, John W. Frost, F. C. Mosbv.
and John J ],awing, in removing their goods from
their rooms. ’J be whole loss sustaiued cannot be
short of thirty thousand dollars, and only seven
thousand covered by insurance. Mr. Barnes’ loss
is estimated at from five to seven hundred dollars ;
and Ins stock of materials and work being a total
wreck. This tails very heavily on him.
This is truly one of’the greatest calamities bv

Mattel on Recruiting.— Vuttel, the most gen
erally accepted authority on international lays,
says; “ Whosoever undertaketh to enlist soldiers
in.a foreign country, without the sovereign's per- i
mission, and in general, whoever entices away i
i the subjects of another State, violates one of the
.most sacred rights of the prince and the nation.
The crime is distinguished by the name of kid
napping or man stealing, and is punishable with
the utmost severity in every well regulated State. '
Foreign recruiters are hanged without mercy, ami j
with great justice. It is not presumed that their
sovereign has ordered them to commit a crime; j
and supposing even that they had received such i
an order, they ought not to have obeyed it, their j
sovereign having no right to command what is j
contrary to the law of nature. * * But if it i
appears that they acted by order, such a proceed- t
ing in a foreign sovereign is justly considered as ;
a sufficient cause for declaring war against him,
unless he makes suitable reparation.

There are plenty of young Gentle
men, as well as plenty of old ones, whose beards
are turning gray, which gives the former a good
deal of uneasiness, and exposes the age of the lat
ter. To avoid these little perplexities, we advise
such of our readers to use Prof. WOOD'S HAIR
RESTORATIVE, which will, iti the course of a
few weeks, change the white hair to its natural
color. It does not dye the hair, like the most ol
the Hair Restoratives, but produces a gradual
change of color from the roots of the hair to the
final end, and gives it a fine and glossy appear
ance. We have seen many persons who have used
! it successfully, and pronounced it the only inven
j tion which has come up to their idea of a “cure
j for gray heads.” We commenced using it about
two months since, and if we are any judge of age
and beauty, it has made us at least ten years young
er—in fact, we are beginning to look quite young,
and feel very much like getting a young wife. The
change is miraculous, and it would be as difficult
to find a gray hair now as it would be to find an
idea in the head of the Duke of Buckingham. We
know several old maids and some young widows,
whose locks are just beginning to assume a silvery
hue, and who have been talking seriously about re
sorting to this remedy; and we advise them not
to delay any longer. It never fails.— St. Lott!*

A Perfumed Breath.—-What Lady
or Gentleman would remain under the curse of a
disagreeable breath when, by using the “BALM
OF A THOUSAND FLOWERS ” as a dentrifiee,
would not only render it sweet, but leave the teeth
white as alabaster? Many persons do not know
their breath is bad, and the subject is so delicate
their friends will never mention it. Pour a single
drop of the “ Balm ” on your tooth-brush, and
wash the teeth night and morning. A fifty cent,
bottle will last a year.
A ilKArrirrL Complexion’ may easily be acquired
by using the "Balm of a Thousand Flowers.” It
will remove tan, pimples and frccldes from the skin,
leaving it of a soft and roseate hue. Wet a towel,
pour on two or three drops, and wash the face night
and morning.
Shaving Made Easy.—Wet your shaving-brush
in either warm or cold water, pour on two or three
drops ot the “ Hdm of a Thousand Flowers,” rub
the beard well, and it will make a beautiful soli
lather, much facilitating the operation of shaving.

certificate of chemical analysis given by the cele- j
brated chemist, Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York '
City, in favor ol Rhodes' Fever and Ague Cure, that !
it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mercury or j
Strychnine, and having received numerous appli- ,
cations for it, I was induced to scud to Mr. Rhodes
tor the medicine. Since then, I have disposed of a
large quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who |
have invariably been cured by it, and to whom I
can refer. T am, therefore, satisfied in recommend
ing it to be all that the proprietor represents.
